ah, ah, ah, ah, this is d w. news wire from 3rd, russia order's troops to enter, break away provinces. easton, you cried. president, 13 is calling the deployment a peacekeeping mission after he sighed the decree, recognizing hunters and nets as independent states prompting international condemnation. meanwhile, ukrainian president zalinski addresses a nation in crisis. he says ukraine won't give up any of its land and is demanding quote, clear support from the whist. also coming up, england scraps its last remaining corona virus restrictions. even people with covey

non team will no longer have to isolate the british prime minister says that to move away from government control to personal responsibility, but not all medical experts convinced. ah, i'm anthony. how'd welcome russian president vladimir putin assigned a decree to send. what he is describing as peacekeeping troops into separate us regions of the hands and the nets. the decision comes after putting breaking ised both regions as independent states, and described ukraine as ancient russian territory. the move marks a significant escalation amid fears. russia could soon launch a full scale invasion. the un security council is due to mate in an emergency session to address the crisis. after a day of lashing out at nato,

putin made an explosive announcement on state television shipper in your credit. mm hm. but i think it is necessary to make a long overdue decision to immediately recognize the independence and sovereignty of the don units, people's republic and the lu hunter, people's republic. but the sway took us presidents with a few strokes of his pen. russia's leader made a diplomatic solution to the ukraine crisis, seem even less likely. the decision could trigger massive consequences for his country. the use foreign policy chief had already said he was prepared to put a sanctions package to a vote. the, in the european council, if russia were to recognize the break away regions respected. after a crisis meeting in washington, the white house announced sanctions against new investment, trade and financing into 2 separate regions. you k prime minister boris johnson, called russia's decision, a dark sign, or the ganske. ah, this is plainly in breach of international law. it's

a violation of flagrant violation of the sovereignty, the integrity of the, of ukraine. ah, it is a repudiation of the of the minks process and the minks agreements, and in key of residents, reacted with defiance. to putin's announcement was from what i see a bit now, why should russia recognize it as if neighbors come to you and say, this room will be ours? would you care about their opinion or not? you know, it's your flat and it will always be, are flat, let them recognize whatever they want. yeah. but in my view, it can also provoke of war because normal people will fight for their country who has a flu, a little play, what the hyper is nice, let them recognize whatever they want, but we should not fall for it and react to this information. let them do what they want. i recognize someone organized referendums, but we and the whole society don't recognize it and shouldn't recognize it. lay it

so in, in, it will be nevertheless, a date that had started with hopes of a summit in the near future between us president joe biden. and vladimir putin ended with a feeling that things are moving in the wrong direction. they doubly correspond that nick connelly is in kear forest. vladimir putin has ordered russian soldiers to cross the border into ukrainian territory. nick, how is the ukrainian government responding? will disney? this is an escalation that has come very fast as we just heard there earlier today . talk of new talks between foreign ministers, potentially a grand summit with vladimir putin. mccaul and biden. and now within the space of a day, we have not only the recognition of those self proclaimed republics, but also that are order. now, before, even that recognition has been legally processed through russia's parliament to send those troops in the ukrainians would say that russia's troops have been doing

it, glanced since 2014 albeit m with unmarked uniforms operating under that guys of those a self proclaimed aerobics. now they're coming in in russian uniforms officially to mock that recognition from moscow. increasing. worry here that given that the situation along the front lines between ukrainian troops and those russian back separatists and shelling and increasing debts that, that could soon turn into a pretext for war. if russia accuses ukraine of shelling of somehow causing damage to the civilian population, that could then seem suit soon. see russian troops crossing over into government, ukraine held territory. and you've got a much bigger region of elegance and jazz than yet. so much of which is still controlled by the ukrainian military and ukrainian authority. so worried that this is not the end, but just the 1st step in this escalation is that pain discussed openly. now, nick, does he cry? and believe this is likely to be

a deployment within these existing boundaries of the 2 so called separate states, or will they serve as a pretext for a broader escalation. i think right now it's the very brave analyst opened it. who will give you any conclusive art to that question? i think it see feels like all the answers, all the potential options are on the table. it was an extraordinary speech. from that putin as full of grievance and anger. what he said had happened to russia, not only since the end of the soviet union, but even under communist rule, where he said, bessie russia was a rule stolen from, was robbed by the communists who gave territory and resources to the ukrainians, to barrison, to all the other minorities in that soviet state, and that basically russia was robbed of its historic lands. and he took that ukraine being basically a made up country that had squandered what it was given from the soviet union. on the other hand, he said that ukraine was dangerous,

that at potentially produce nuclear weapons. it would be a threat to russia. so it was a rambling, pretty extraordinary speech that didn't seem to be aimed at in commits any one outside russia, certainly. but a sign of increasing frustration the kremlin, and a desire to really try and roll back the view order at the skirt yard in europe. that has been in place since the end of the cold war. nicky relied us many times of last month how the people in ukraine were remaining calm as these tensions mountain . what now? i think definitely people living in don bass along those front lines. they've definitely seen an uptick in violence in the last few days shelling on a scale that hasn't been seen since 2015 people been left without electricity without running water. and they are definitely now getting a lot more worried that that could now translate into those russian troops that are coming into separate held areas coming also into government health church in the next few days. you hear on social media for people that are getting very nervous hearing care for now. i think it just all feels

a bit unreal. and people just can't really believe that this is true. i think most people up till now have been trying to commit themselves. this is just a game of diplomatic poker. this is a bluff. and but in the end, this will kind of basically go away without much change to their daily lives. but you've heard people now, when you speak to me that they are making preparations, people taking money out of banks, getting bags ready in case they need to go to withdrawing cash. so definitely a sense that this crisis, after months of diplomatic it mo, recommendations and deadlines is now moving to new phase and conley and kia many thanks and ukrainian president vladimir lensky has just delivered a televised address to the nation after consultations with western leaders. he called mazda goes decision to racing, recognized lynette scandal hands a violation of ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity will decide that you crime would not give up any of its territory and call on the west to provide clear support in the face of potential russian aggression. if we have minimum

date of the report, charles mcfadden joins me now in the studio with more on president salenti reaction . charles, welcome. what were the main messages of his speech? anthony, i think that president zelinski had 3 audiences in mind as he delivered the speech . firstly, there was a reaction to vladimir putin and, and that very angry, some would say, very aggressive speech, which really sought to betray you. crane as, as somewhat of a fight country. now letting me zalinski replied, where proud people with a proud history, where we're going to talk about here and now we're going to talk about how to prevent war. so for letting me put number one, number 2, he's trying to prevent a lot of demonstrations from voters in the east of the country. there are hundreds of thousands of internally displaced. people who've had to flee the fighting. many of them will feel like they can't go home now after this announcement by letting me

potent so flooding me. zalinski said where peaceful people and i think he was talking to those voters. and thirdly, he had a message for the world, anthony, he said that where country with rights like anyone else, we're going to make our case in the united nations. but, but please don't write us off in that sense. we have all the rights of any other country. and did he charles, signal or sight ukraine was likely to respond to the russian escalation with force . and i, that was not as all his message, anthony, for weeks now, the message of the ukrainian government has been that ukraine is not going to escalate. it's going to pursue a peaceful pop, a diplomatic path through, along with its allies and through the united nations where we've got that meeting about to start as we speak. so lot of ms. lewinsky again, reiterated that message. of course, moscow has been accusing key of, of being behind the escalations, which she kind denies. again, there was

a com and there was an attempt to reassure the world, in fact, that it, not you crazy, aggressive party here, it's russia. we talked about the nerves with nick connelly earlier of the ukrainian people. do you think this midnight address to the nation reassures ukrainians? indeed, it was even lighter than midnight. it was, it was $230.00. i am in you crying when, when this dropped and would that reassure you? it's an interesting question and dade, i think what would have reassured blood me is the lensky supporters who are growing in numbers is crisis. gross is the president's delivery. he's very familiar to the nation. it's been on t v for decades. he played the president before he became the president. and, and so there's an element of comfort when you say him and also an element of fantasy, you know, is a fantasy president before he became the real life one. so there was that on the one hand, but i think tomorrow people in key ever going to look at that speech from vladimir putin, one of he's certainly most aggressive about your crime yet. and that's going to be

the speech that they remember for them is the less kids given these lines before, or there was not much knew what he had to say, anthony. just much, adrian, thanks so much. now he's a look at some more stories making headlines around the world. this, our columbia top court has voted to decriminalize abortion in the 1st 24 weeks of pregnancy to victory for abortion rights activists who had sued to have the procedure removed from the penal code. columbia joined the growing list of latin american countries to liberalize access to german president frank felt a sty. my is on the 3 day visit to synagogue, to discuss establishing covey 19 vaccine production facilities in africa is trip is also expected to focus on the security situation. in the wider so how region multiple european military missions to combat islam. terrorism on going

that if this maurice is towards anything, is that we shouldn't get cocky, they were warning that they could be a new variance which could cause significant problems and essentially injected a note of caution. and so with this, but the primary stress surveillance methods will still be in place contingency plan should they need to re introduce measures to combat new variance or a surgeons of the virus. but of course, there is concern from some expect the day to simply isn't there to support this move going forward and those who in the public who are clinical honorable looking at this. and as i'm sure you can imagine, extremely concerned charlotte shelf until they're in london, you're watching the w news. it's a reminder of the top story. we're following for you this russia order church into breakaway provinces in easton, you crime as an impertinent calling the deployment a peacekeeping mission. after he signed a decree, recognizing to hans anthony as independent states,
